Thank You to My Genealogy Friends

Thank you so much for the support given to me in regard to The Big Genealogy Blog Book. I did not expect such an outpouring of kindness, and people actually bought the darn thing.

My intent was to write something that helped people with their genealogy blogs. I've already received feedback that I've accomplished that goal.

Want to know something funny about this cover photo? I took it while driving through rural Oklahoma in July. I was going about 70 mph at the time. It was 108 degrees outside. I drove with one hand and took the photo with the other, through my very bug-splattered windshield. There's actually a squashed bug in the picture. It's not the stain on the asphalt. That's roadkill. I left that in there, too.

So there you go.

I really appreciate the comments and encouragement. If you run across any new bloggers or those stuck under a writer's block, do point them in my direction. Help is here!

Lots of good advice and ideas in there, even for those of us who have been blogging for a while. I read parts of it on the way down to Orlando to meet a new cousin, and on the way back up. Thanks again!

I have a Nook. However, early next week my new Kindle Fire will be here and your book will be my first purchase for it. Can't wait. I am such a lazy blogger that I hope "The Big Genealogy Blog Book" will help inspire me.

My Fire arrived on the 22nd. I really did download your book first. Even before Scrabble. I immediately skimmed through and read chapters 7 thru 9, and did some hilighting. I loved your first reason for starting a Genealogy blog. That was why I started mine. My sister always want to know the stories, but their eyes glaze over when I start talking about how I got there. I have been inspired. Posted an entry today, and started another one. Thanks for a great book!
